The 45th US President has cameoed in many film and TV shows over the years, when he was just a billionaire businessman.
Now it turns out he almost played The President in Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, back in 2015.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the filmmakers had been in “serious talks” with Trump, who was “thrilled” at the idea.
However eventually they were told it wasn’t the best time, because he was “thinking about making a legitimate run for the presidency.”

The scene in question would have had President Trump shooting killer sharks inside the White House.
However Trump wasn’t the first choice, with Sarah Palin having been the favourite, but the former Vice-Presidential candidate declined.
In the end fellow billionaire Mark Cuban played the role in Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!
